SWI-Prolog : Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in SWI-Prolog which allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition. swi-prolog 2013-12-06 2013-12-06 450284 remote 6.2.5 6.2.5

SWI-Prolog is a free, small, and standard compliant Prolog compiler.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SWI-Prolog: * An error in the canoniseFileName() function could cause a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2012-6089). * An error in the expand() function could cause a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2012-6090).

A context-dependent attack can create files with specially crafted names, causing arbitrary code execution or a denial of service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All SWI-Prolog users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/swi-prolog-6.2.5"
